Psywave Move Detail
Psywave is a Psychic-type move with variable power and 100% accuracy. Rather than having a fixed power level, Psywave inflicts damage that varies between 1 and 1.5 times the user's level, making it somewhat unpredictable. Despite its variability, it can be useful for dealing consistent damage against higher-level opponents due to its unique damage calculation. Psywave does not have any additional effects like causing status conditions or stat changes. Although it is not as commonly used in competitive play due to its unpredictability, it remains an interesting choice for those looking to leverage its level-based damage potential.
